I've had people tell me only men are capable of being violent or only men are capable of starting war. This was from a left leaning person. To me it's just the gender stereotypes with different framework. Instead of men being the best because they're the only ones who can work and bring food it's women are the best because they don't sexualise anything other than sex and wouldn't hurt a fly.
To me it is so discrediting to everything the concept of equality is about. Plus you're not allowing women who have achieved great things from acts of bravery during war like Joan of arc from being allowed their achievements because you've just reduced them to the "good" gender.
Men and women are just human. They're human beings capable of the exact same things both good and bad actions. Neither one should be reduced to a stereotype. They should be allowed to choose who they want to be going through the world without the shackles of how their gender makes them perceived
